The Levee Broke

I took my son to the river to play, it seemed to be a sunshine filled innocent day. But then the

storm clouds came and it began to rain. No fears I said child we will go inside to play but the

rains had a different plan for us today. The rains hammered on throughout the whole day. My

lady was weeping and moaning, praying for an end of rain for we live at the end of the street

where no escape from a flood could be seen. So that day passed and we awoke to be

surrounded by an ocean full of cars and carcasses. When i saw these images my eyes turned red

with the blood of many on my mind. The angels sat on the levee all day and wept to me of how

they could not hold the levee if it continued to rain. I looked at them and said "You are the

angels protectors of the realms, there is nothing i can do that u cant." So for the sake of my

child's play I took him to the park by the levee that day. If I would have known the carnage that

was coming into me that day I would have stayed in the house never to play. But mortal being I

am, I chose to satisfy my own ideas and spit on the parchments of natural law which the angels

practice. So that day came and the levee broke and swept away my baby mamma and my son.

My rage made me so thirsty and dry that all this water around could not supply the calm that I

needed to get me through this world and succeed it. Now I'm laying on top of a roof cloths

battered, body bruised. Because I ignored the angels truth instead of taking their word, the

word which would have saved my sanity. Oh woe to me! The waters if kept unscathed can take

away so many things with such haste.
